Directions:
Heat the cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter, in a large saucepan, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot, and starts to bubble.

Whisk the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl, until well combined. Gradually whisk half of hot cream into egg yolks, until well combined. Return egg-cream mixture back into saucepan, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, and coats the back of a spoon (custard should be 170-175 degrees F).

Strain the custard into a large mixing bowl. Into bowl, whisk in half-and-half, and vanilla. Chill bowl in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.

Meanwhile, make the "Tagalongs". Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, or use the microwave, which is what I prefer. Heat the chocolate in a small bowl, in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until chocolate is melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Make sandwiches by spreading the peanut butter onto the crackers or shortbread cookies. Dip the crackers/cookies into the chocolate, and place on a wax paper-lined plate. Freeze the crackers/cookies for about 5 minutes, or until firm, then coarsely chop. Return to freezer until ready for use.

Pour ice cream base into ice cream maker, and process according to manufacturer's direction. In the last 5 minutes of processing, add the chopped up "Tagalongs" and allow to finish churning.
Scrape ice cream into a freezer-proof container, and freeze for 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

Ice Cream is my weakness I will pick that any day of the week (or time of the month for that fact) and this looks really good. I got an icecream maker for my KitchenAid for chistmas but I don't have it yet (backorder) I can't wait to try this.

I'm not a MASSIVE ice cream fan but that sounds (and looks) amazing. I hate when a limited edition flavour of something is brought out and you end up loving it - but at least in your case you try and do something about it by inventing your own!

Emiline, this ice cream looks wonderful, I love ice cream too, my favorite is the blackberry's ice cream!!! Emiline now I understand that you say about lemon's pie!! Last night I saw many blogs, all delicious!! And I making spinachs!!ji,ji, xxxxx Gloria

Oh wow, that sounds just awesome! I am ice cream obbsessd too - so I know just how you feel. I felt that way when haagen daaz had limited edition Sticky Toffee Pudding ice cream - and you know my feelings about that already!

But you are just a breath of fresh air - first with the potato chips and NOW with ritz crackers! WOW! you certainly have a way with this lovely sweet salty combination I adore!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I'm assuming the cake you made him will be on your blog tomorrow.

Em, you should be fined for posting such a luscious recipe. Thank goodness, I don't have (quite) that much cream in the house and it's too late to get it. I wouldn't use Ritz anyway...just because of who's on the box.

its the first time i heard about tagalong..they sound really divine..choco with peanut butter!! happy bday on your dad and such a sweet recipe to go for this celebration!! would love to have a scoop of that ice cream yum!!

Emiline,My family and I met the guy who is the professional taster for Edy's! I swear! He tastes every batch of ice cream that leaves the factory. I wrote about it on the blog, but I don't know if you were reading it back then. I don't want to sound like I'm plugging my blog on your blog, but if you're interested, just go and search for "Flavorologist."Anyhoo, the ice cream sounds deelish ... if I weren't dieting, I'd have to try some.I'd buy you some Tagalongs and send them to you, but ours come around in the fall.
